Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Handball Spezial trainers in top condition, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the colour and material integrity. If the suede or upper materials are exposed to rain, ensure they air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or shrinkage. Because these shoes feature a classic fit, they are compatible with standard thin-to-medium thickness athletic socks.
